Thread Name: What is a Plectrum Banjo?
Subject: RE: What is a Plectrum Banjo?
There is a difference between a tenor and a plectrum banjo - the plectrum has a longer neck and is tuned lower (I presume). Plectrum banjos were what they had before the 5th string was added. Deering Banjos still makes both types as well as 5-strings.
